Davis Delivers Clutch At-Bat for Ohio State in Walk-Off Win
The Ohio State Buckeyes did just enough to secure a 5-4 victory over the Auburn Tigers at Ballpark of Bloomfield College. Nobody did more than pitcher Matt Pierce, who captured player of the game honors. The Buckeyes have an impressive 9-5 record.

Ron Davis hit a run-scoring triple off Tony Rodriguez in the bottom of the ninth, which put the Buckeyes in front, 5-4. Davis had 1 single, in addition to the triple. For the game, he went 2 for 4.

Pierce described the clubhouse as "kind of rowdy" after the game.
